Cincinnati-based Mercy Health and Brentwood, Tenn.-based Lifepoint Behavioral Health opened a new inpatient behavioral health hospital in Youngstown, Ohio, through a joint venture announced in 2023.
The new Mercy Health Behavioral Hospital spans nearly 62,000 square feet and includes 72 beds, according to a Dec. 9 news release. It will treat patients with a range of psychiatric conditions, including those with co-occurring substance use disorders. The facility will provide inpatient services upon opening and plans to add outpatient treatment, a partial hospitalization program and an intensive outpatient program.
The hospital is supported by a multidisciplinary team of clinicians and was designed to offer therapeutic environments with flexible clinical spaces, spacious rooms, an outdoor courtyard and group treatment areas.
Lifepoint Behavioral Health will manage day-to-day operations. The hospital joins a network of 25 free-standing behavioral health hospitals operated by the organization.
